Don't drag all the way up to the small skin whip without first ordering!

  I thought that after saying this, the woman's face would show some shame, but instead, she pretended to be nonchalant and waved her hand: "Oh my, Your Majesty is overpraising me. In fact, I'm not only good at compiling unofficial histories, but also official ones! Do you want to appoint me as a historian?" Humph, if he didn't let her sleep, she would drag him on and keep talking nonsense!

  As soon as this was said, the historian's scroll fell out of his hand, and it was a snatched rice bowl! Seeing Huangfu Huaihan's cold eyes scanning over, he quickly picked up the scroll, and then looked at the emperor with tears in his eyes. Your Majesty wouldn't really agree to her, would you?

  "Su Jinping, can you be any more shameless?" Huangfu Huahan shouted with a dark face.

  The woman heard this and smiled, revealing her white teeth, and said with a grin: "Your Majesty, I have teeth, and they are very solid, don't you believe me? Look for yourself!"

  A certain emperor stumbled and almost fell!

  ……

  Early in the morning, when Huangfu Huachen appeared on the court with a pair of panda eyes, facing the strange gaze of the ministers, he deeply realized that he had been deceived by that despicable person!

  Huang Fu Qing's face was full of concern as he memorialized: "Imperial brother, state affairs are important, you must also prioritize your body. Even when handling government affairs, you should rest early."

  Kobayashi also stood with a pair of panda eyes on one side, and when he heard Huangfu Qing's words, he turned his head and shed two noodles of tears! Where is the emperor handling government affairs? It's clearly just arguing with that palace maid all night! And what he can't accept most is that after arguing all night, the emperor didn't even have the upper hand, but was repeatedly angered to the point of vomiting blood! You know, the emperor was hailed as a child prodigy at the age of nine and was also the genius of Dongling's first debate. He had previously debated with a group of Confucian scholars and suppressed them with his talent, but after falling into Su Jinping's hands, he lost... miserably!

  Huangfu Huaihan heard this, his cold and stern face showed no expression at all, but the bottom of his eyes flashed a hint of embarrassment, he slightly turned his head to cough, then opened his mouth in a cold voice: "Understood, I will pay attention!"

  "There is a memorial to be presented, no withdrawal from court!" Little Linzi's sharp and clear voice rang out.

  ……

  Su Jinping stood at the door of the imperial study with a broom in hand, yawning contentedly. She hadn't slept last night, and neither had that dog emperor, who was now going to hold court with utmost concentration - she could slack off here!

  Su Jinping became the imperial maid, and Hong Feng was naturally transferred over as well. Looking at her yawning and shaking her head: "I'm telling you, be more careful, don't provoke the emperor again, I've been in the palace for so many years, but I've never seen a palace maid like you who's had such good luck!" Offending the emperor so many times, yet still being safe and sound!

  The woman heard this and her mouth twitched uncontrollably. Good luck? She's been unlucky for eighteen lifetimes, okay?! Still good luck!

  "Xiao Jinjin!" A charming and evil voice sounded from behind him.

  Su Jinping turned her head and saw Huangfu Ye again. She let out another yawn, waved her hand and said: "Xiao Yeye, you're here!"

  As soon as this title came out, everyone was stunned! Including Huangfu Ye himself was stunned for a moment, Xiao Yeye? This title... is interesting!

  "What? You can call me Xiao Jinjin, but I can't call you Xiao Yeye?" Raised an eyebrow with a smile.

  "Of course, naturally! Little Jin likes to be called what, then call her that!" He waved the golden fan in his hand and smiled at her delicate little face. For some reason, not having seen her for a day, he somehow missed her, so today he came here as if possessed by a ghost or a god.

  The people below finally reacted and hurriedly bowed: "Your humble servant has seen the Night King!"

  With a wave of the fan, he took several big strides to stand in front of Su Jingping. Their eyes met, and his light purple pupils sparkled with amusement. Seeing the doubt in her eyes, he spoke in an unorthodox tone: "Little Jingjing, do you miss your king?"

  A woman rolled her eyes and spoke impatiently: "Go, go, go! Go to one side, don't disturb me sweeping the floor! You think you have money? I'd rather you die!"

  A certain Wang Ye's dignified and self-satisfied expression suddenly cracked! He stretched out his fan, pointing at her with a deeply shocked face: "Xiao Jinjin, do you know anything else besides silver?"

  "I also know Jinzi!" he replied with a boastful tone.

  Huang Pu's foot slipped and he almost fell! The back of everyone's head was also covered in big drops of sweat!

  Suddenly...

  "Come with me!" He grabbed her wrist impatiently and dragged her away, the second time he grasped her wrist, his heart felt a different sensation. Thinking about the banquet that day after returning, his inner complexity and entanglement made him even more confused about what was wrong with himself. Ignoring the unusual feeling in his heart, he ordered with his back to Hong Feng, "If the emperor asks, just say that I borrowed this person!"

  "Yes!" Hong Feng replied respectfully.

  ……

  "Huang Pu Ye, what's wrong with you?" Crazy! What's gotten into you so early in the morning?!

  Little did she know, in the next second, she was pinned against the wall by Huangfu Ye, with their faces extremely close, so close that they could hear each other's breathing.

  She gazed at his enlarged handsome face in a somewhat unbelievable manner, still the same Huangfu Ye, still that demonic face, but why did she feel like something was different?

  "Xiao Jinjin, listen to me once, stay away from that person!" The tone was unusually serious, if she let her get any closer, what awaited her would be eternal damnation!

  "You're looking for me just to say this?" Feng's eyes narrowed slightly, somewhat impatient.

  A faint struggle flashed in her dark purple eyes, looking at her delicate face and the cold color in her eyes, finally, she smiled. Releasing the hand that bound her, she turned her head to the side, shaking the fan: "Forget it, do as you please." He had no right to interfere with her, did he? At least, she hadn't given him the right yet!

  "He is a friend to me, and so are you!" said in a cold tone.

  Her face changed color, so she didn't like that person anymore? Her mood inexplicably became a bit more pleasant: "I see. But, Little Jinjin, I think I might... have fallen for you."

  The last few words, however, were left unspoken.

  "What's going on? You wouldn't be falling for me a little bit, would you?" She asked with an unscrupulous smile, staring at him.

  "Cough, cough..." He awkwardly coughed a few times, covering up the unusual glint in his eyes, and smiled as he spoke, "I sometimes really suspect that you're actually a woman!"

  She rolled her eyes, "Is he not a man?" "Alright, I won't chat with you anymore, I'm going to sweep the floor!" She said and picked up the broom, ready to leave.

  "Little Jinjin!" The evil and charming voice was somewhat hoarse, "That person is not as simple as you think!"

  The corners of her mouth slightly hooked up, as if startled by a hundred miles. She was indeed a superficial embroidered pillow, and she didn't bother to make friends with him either. She nodded: "I know."

  Three words were spoken, and then he lifted his foot again...

  Huang Pu stood behind her and sighed softly: "Xiao Jinjin, if you need help, remember to find me!"

  "Good!" Brief and to the point, without any hesitation or beating around the bush.

  Watching her back slowly leave his line of sight, the vague feeling in his heart gradually cleared up. He leaned against the wall with some despair, smiled bitterly, and then spoke in a low voice: "Little Jinjin, I think I really like you, what should I do?"

  ……

  Fei Feng Gong

  He Lian Rong sat with a stern expression on her face, and anyone could see that she was in a terrible mood.

  "Your Majesty, tea!" A palace maid stood before her with a cup of tea in hand.

  With a wave of his hand, the boiling water splashed onto the palace maid's body. Her delicate face turned bright red from the scalding, but she didn't dare make a sound, kneeling to one side and enduring the pain silently.

  "Bang!" A crisp sound, that delicate white hand slammed heavily on the table. "You're quite bold, Su Jinping! You actually dared to report me to the Emperor and get me banned! It seems I should have killed you back then!"

  A woman in her forties, a palace maid, hastily stepped forward: "Your Majesty, we can't afford to be flustered now! Su Jinping is certainly someone from the side of Su Jinqiu. The power in the harem has now fallen into the hands of Consort Shu. We should think carefully about how to respond!"

  As soon as she spoke, He Lianyu also calmed down and looked at her: "Nanny, then what do you say? We can't just let that cheap servant girl go, I won't swallow this breath! A mere concubine daughter of the Prime Minister's residence actually made me lose so much face!"

  "Empress!" The wet nurse's face showed a hint of blame, "She is just a palace maid, you are the Empress, after going out, find an excuse to kill her and that's it. Why make such a big fuss? Our real enemy is not her, but the one behind her! The general also sent word that he will join forces with the ministers on the court to plead for your case, I suppose the Emperor will let you out soon. You should calm down, don't let those cheap people take advantage of you again!"

  He Lian Rong took a deep breath and slowly calmed down, when suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her mind, reminding her of last night's events! A faint smile played on her lips: "Hmph, if I were to find an excuse to kill her, the Emperor would surely know that I came seeking revenge. But if not...

  The nanny leaned her ear over and listened to her instructions.

  "The plan may be clumsy, but it's enough to deal with a small palace maid!" The wet nurse's face showed a knowing smile.

  "Hmm, then go and arrange it. Make sure to do a good job for me. Once I leave the Fei Feng Palace, that servant girl will be dead!"

  "Yes!"

  ……

  A woman dragged a broom as she walked, her mind racing back and forth. Today's Huangfu Ye seemed a bit strange! But what was strange about him, she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

  Back at the entrance of the imperial study, Huangfu Huachen had not returned yet. He yawned and sat on the railing, leaning his head to sleep.

  The guard at the gate couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, this palace maid's guts were a bit too big, wasn't she? She didn't sweep the floor that was supposed to be swept, and instead sat at the entrance resting with an air of importance.

  Hong Feng was also used to her virtues and didn't bother saying anything, but the palace maid serving in the imperial study room ran out with some resentment: "I say Su Jinping, you're supposed to be sweeping the imperial floor, just because the emperor isn't here, you think you can slack off?"

  "Excuse me, auntie, who are you?" Damn it, she's really been bullied by everyone! The emperor bullies her, the imperial concubines bully her, even the palace maids bully her! Can't they just leave her alone?

  Auntie? That palace maid is only twenty years old, not much older than Su Jinping. Suddenly being referred to as "auntie" made her almost choke on her own blood! Seeing the question, she lifted her head and proudly said: "I am a senior palace maid serving the Emperor!"

  "Excuse me, the chief palace maid who serves the emperor, what do you want from me? I'm just a small palace maid, not the emperor, no need for you to serve me!" Can't afford to offend those masters, can't even afford to offend this palace maid?

  "You!" He pointed at her fiercely, his face red with rage.

  "How dare you?" A cold glance swept across, a fierce aura burst out!

  The palace maid was startled by her gaze, subconsciously taking a step back. How terrifying her eyes were! But after retreating one step and steadying herself, she came to her senses. It was just a look, what's there to be afraid of? "Hmph, when the Emperor returns, I'll definitely report you to Minister Lin, let him deal with this worthless woman!"

  "Slap!" A loud slap landed on her face.

  When she came to her senses, Su Jinping was already sitting back on the railing! Having been in ancient times for so long, I've seen a lot of people picking quarrels, but there's only one who picks a fight with me without reason and scolds me. If I don't teach her a lesson, she won't know why flowers are red!

  The guards were also shocked! The senior palace maid beside the emperor, whom all the ladies-in-waiting fawned upon, where did this palace maid get the nerve to dare strike back?!

  "You dare hit me?" The palace maid pointed fiercely at Su Jinping.

  "If you point again, it won't be just a slap! A cold glance swept across, and the chill was palpable. At this moment, no one would doubt that she was telling the truth."

  Suddenly, she turned her head and saw Huangfu Huaihan returning with a group of servants in the distance. Su Jinping quickly jumped down from the railing, grabbed a broom, and pretended to sweep the floor seriously...

  Everyone's mouth corners twitched at the door, right? Isn't it true that there are such people in the world who were arrogant and domineering just a second ago, but as soon as they see the emperor, they start pretending to be elegant?

  "Su Jinping, you..." The palace maid was thoroughly shocked by her shamelessness, pointing at her fiercely.

  "What's the noise!" Huangfu Huaihan's impatient voice rang out, with a clear hint of fatigue in his tone due to last night's lack of sleep. The corner of his eye also caught sight of the woman who was diligently sweeping, and he couldn't help but think that this woman could actually be quite diligent!

  "Your Majesty, she..." The palace maid pointed at Su Jinping and wanted to say something.

  Kobayakawa interrupted in a shrill voice, "You blind fool, don't you dare to linger around, haven't you seen that the Emperor is not feeling well and needs rest?" At a glance, it was clear that this was a conflict between the palace maids, what a trivial matter to bother the Emperor with!

  The palace maid also saw the obvious fatigue on Huangfu Huaihan's face and immediately stepped aside: "This servant deserves to die!"

  Not far away, Su Jinping was sweeping fallen leaves with a broom and turned back to make a ghostly face at her!

  The palace maid almost fainted from fright!

  Huangfu Huai's face was cold as he stepped into the imperial study, his voice chilly as he ordered: "Pass down the edict, go and release the Empress!" Those old lechers on the court, it seems they're tired of living! They even think to interfere in the affairs of the harem, this time, he'll indulge them, next time, it will be their turn to be eradicated root and all!

  "Yes!" Little Linzi led the order and left.

  ……

  "Are things packed up?" He Lianrong seemed to have received the emperor's order to let her out, and she was overjoyed.

  "Your Highness, it's all set. Although a palace maid came out at that time, I've already knocked her unconscious. She definitely didn't see us!"

  "That cheap servant girl should be going back now?" Cold voice with a smile, beautiful eyes full of fierce color.

  "Tell the princess, it's time to go back!"

  "Hmm! Let's go then!" With a stately and elegant demeanor, she put down her teacup and slowly stood up, heading in the direction of Jingren Palace. "Xiao Yuanshu, go and summon the Emperor as well. Such a great crime, this palace, although noble as the Empress, cannot arbitrarily mete out punishment!"

  "Yes! I'll go right away!" The little eunuch took orders and quickly ran towards the imperial study.

  ……

  A group of people went to Su Jinping's residence in a mighty and majestic manner...

  "Your Majesty, Little Round from the Phoenix Palace requests an audience!" Little Linzi reported as he entered.

  "What's going on?" Rubbing his eyebrows, he felt a bit tired.

  "It seems that Su Jinping has committed a crime, the Empress wants to punish her, but the offense is too severe, and only you can make the decision!" Little Linzi bowed his head respectfully.

  Her cold face was tense, He Lianrong had just been released at noon today, and Su Jinping had already made a mistake in the evening? A cold smile curled up at the corner of her lips, and the action was really fast. However, that damn woman also needed to be taught a lesson!

  "Let's go." He put down the imperial brush and led the way out of the palace, with Xiao Linzi hurrying to follow. The palace maid who had just been slapped by Su Jinping also showed a pleased expression, humming, "You cheap thing, you've offended the empress, you'll get what's coming to you!"

  ……

  Su Jinping finished sweeping the floor and dragged her tired body back to Jingren Palace. Although she had been promoted, she hadn't moved yet, probably because Huangfu Huaihan that ruthless man wanted to see her running back and forth between her residence and the place where she swept the floor, exhausting herself to death, so he didn't give her a new place to live. Cheap man!

  Just as I walked to the door, my eyes narrowed and I saw Qianyi lying at the entrance.

  What's going on? A few big steps forward, squatting down to check her breath, and immediately slightly relieved, only to be knocked unconscious!

  Her face turned solemn and she pinched his waist.

  Very soon, Shallow Memory woke up and saw Su Jinping. There was still a hint of daze on her face: "Miss."

  "What's going on?" She took a look around, her career as an assassin made her almost never miss the slightest difference in details. It was obvious here that someone had been here!

  Miss, I don't know either. When I woke up, I wanted to go out and take a look, but as soon as I walked out the door, I was knocked unconscious!

  She was lifted up, and then several big steps quickly stepped into the house. Her eyes scanned around, and there were fourteen places in the house that had been disturbed. Was it coming to find something? The feeling of unease in her heart grew stronger. She went forward and quickly flipped through those places, her gaze fixed on the box under the bed... What was this thing? A faint smell of blood wafted up to her nostrils. Her eyes narrowed, and a cold glint flashed across her phoenix-like eyes...

  Just as he was about to drag out that trunk, a burst of footsteps came from the doorway. It's too late!

  "Miss, what are you doing?" Shallow memory couldn't quite understand her actions.

  Immediately afterwards, Helian Youyao's voice sounded outside the door: "Come in, search for this palace!"

  Before long, a team of Imperial Guards stepped in.

  "What are you doing?" Shallow memory blocked the door, with some obvious surprise in his eyes.

  "Get out of the way!" The guard pushed Shallow Memory, almost knocking her over. Su Jinping quickly caught her and gave the guard a cold glance. The guard's face turned solemn, and his eyes showed obvious terror! What kind of gaze was that? It was even more terrifying than the emperor's!

  "Miss, what are they doing?" Shallow memory was somewhat terrified.

  "Don't be afraid!" What's going on is naturally framing her!

  The attendants searched inside the house for half a day, when suddenly one of them looked under the bed: "There's a trunk underneath, let's see what it is!"

  Then, someone came forward and pulled out the box. A hint of ridicule appeared at the bottom of Su Jinping's eyes, and her gaze swept outward, only to see He Lianrong, wasn't she under house arrest? Indeed, as the Empress said, once she came out, she would come to find trouble with her?

  He Lian Rong's face wore a confident smile as she strode over in big steps, looking at Su Jinping and coldly laughing: "How is it that nowadays you don't even need to kneel when seeing me?"

  "It's just that Her Majesty the Empress has been confined for many days, and suddenly she comes out, I'm a bit unrecognizable, please forgive me! I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Empress, may you have good fortune and safety!" As she spoke, she knelt down to make her obeisance, not forgetting to poke at Hua'er's sore spot, anyway this grudge was already formed, so what's the harm in making it a bit deeper!

  As soon as this was said, Helian Rong's face changed greatly, and she glared fiercely at Su Jinpin: "You lowly maid, how dare you humiliate me? I..."

  "Oh dear, the Queen's temper is so fierce! I could smell gunpowder from afar when my sister left. It's really suffocating!" A soft laughter echoed, and it was none other than Consort Shu who had arrived.

  The Empress smiled brightly and captivatingly. At the Emperor's birthday banquet a few days ago, Su Jinping had stolen the show, but in the end, she was the biggest winner. Adding to that, on that day, Su Jinping had expressed her loyalty, so wasn't all of this just part of Su Jinping's plan to help Empress Shu gain power in the harem? So when it was said that He Liancheng was coming over with a crowd of people, she naturally wanted to lend her "trusted general" a helping hand!

  He Lian Rong turned her head and saw a green-robed Shu Fei, suppressing the anger in her heart, forcing a smile as she spoke: "Why did you come to this place, younger sister?"

  "Long live the Queen, may she be safe and sound!" After finishing the ritual, she stood up, "Sister is just passing by and saw that sister has a great anger, this fire will inevitably hurt her body if it gets bigger. If it's because of this little palace maid, I'll beg for mercy from sister on her behalf. A small palace maid doesn't matter much, but if sister's body gets hurt because of anger, that would be a huge loss!"

  Su Jinping heard this and a cold smile appeared on her lips. She was certain that the things in that box were not something that could be obtained with just one person's favor!

  He Lian Rongruo heard the words and giggled: "Sister, I'm afraid you don't have such a big face. The crime committed by this palace maid is something that even I, the empress, cannot pardon! Open it up for Empress Shu to see, what is it!"

  As soon as the voice fell, the guards opened the box! A pale face appeared inside the box, it was a small palace maid, with fresh blood still hanging from the corner of her mouth, she seemed to have been dead for several hours!

  "Ah!" The Empress was so frightened that she let out a loud cry and took a step back.

  "Su Jinping, you'd better tell me what's going on here?" He Lianrong asked with a satisfied smile.

  What's going on? Don't you know it yourself? The words reached the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back: "I beg to report to Your Majesty, I'm ignorant and really don't know what's going on!"

  Just then, a shrill voice rang out: "The Emperor has arrived!" Immediately, the figure of Huangfu Huachen appeared in the room, his face cold as he glanced at everyone, not neglecting the trunk.

  "We pay our respects to Your Majesty!" As soon as they saw Huangfu Huichen, the two women instantly became noble and elegant, their mocking expressions disappearing, replaced by gentle and refined appearances.

  "Cold voice asked: 'Hmm, what's going on?'"

  "I report to Your Majesty, one of the palace maids in my quarters has gone missing. I have searched for her everywhere but couldn't find her. Someone saw my maid arguing with Su Jinping before she disappeared, so I sent someone to look for her and indeed found this...this corpse! Your Majesty, according to the laws of Dongling, a life for a life, please make your judgment!" He Lian Rong finished speaking quickly, waiting for Su Jinping's death sentence.

  Su Jinping's lips curled up in a cold smile, and she was fully prepared, even with witnesses on standby! But could she, Su Jinping, be so easily framed?

  Huangfu Huachen also furrowed his brow, He Liancheng was not just being confined for half a month and then coming out to take revenge, but he actually wanted to kill him? He had underestimated her ruthlessness!

  "What about the witness?" Su Jinping still had use for him, so he couldn't die easily.

  "Bring it over!" he yelled out towards the door.

  Before long, a palace maid was brought in by the guards. When she saw Huangfu Huachen, her eyes dodged slightly, but she still forced herself to open her mouth and pay respects: "Your servant greets Your Majesty! Greets Her Majesty the Empress! Greets Consort Shu!"

  "I ask you, did you really see the two of them quarreling?" The cold voice was devoid of any emotion, just like an ice sculpture on a winter's day, sending chills down one's spine.

  That little palace maid trembled and nodded quickly: "Yes! Yes! I saw that palace maid quarreling with Su Jinping that day, but later, later things I don't know!"

  "Your Majesty, may I ask her a few questions?" Su Jinping suddenly spoke up after being silent for half the day.

  "Ask away." As soon as these words came out, Su Jinping was somewhat surprised. The emperor, Huang Fu Haichan, who had no integrity, actually didn't seize this good opportunity to take revenge? It really made her feel a little surprised!

  However, suppressing his astonishment for now, preserving his life was of utmost importance! "Your Majesty, I have another request!"

  "Say it!" Without any hesitation, perhaps in his subconscious he didn't want her to die either.

  "I beg of you, during the interrogation of the slaves, no one is allowed to interrupt, otherwise, beheading in public!" After making this request, she was also somewhat nervous, and it was uncertain whether Huangfu Huaihan would agree to her.

  As a result, the emperor paused for a moment and then spoke bluntly: "Approved!"

  He Lian Rong's face showed a hint of strangeness, and he didn't know what kind of evil intentions Su Jinping had.

  "Thank you, Your Majesty!" This time, it was a heartfelt thank you. After finishing speaking, he took several big strides to the front of the palace maid, lowered his body, and looked at her with a pair of phoenix eyes: "Look at me!"

  The palace maid's eyes darted back and forth, not daring to look at her.

  "Watch me!" The voice grew louder and carried a clear intent to kill!

  The palace maid was taken aback, subdued by her aura, and immediately shifted her gaze to look at her calmly.

  Su Jinping's lips curled up with a faint smile: "Tell me, what's your name?"

  Her voice was extremely soft, and the palace maid opened her mouth with some hesitation: "Xiā Qiū Yuè!"

  "Is there anyone else at home?" Tingting looked into her eyes, with a hint of dim light flashing in the corner of her phoenix-like eyes.

  "There's Mother and a younger brother at home!" Xia Qiuyue replied absent-mindedly.

  Huangfu Huaihan furrowed his brow. What was the point of this woman asking such irrelevant questions? Did she really want to die?

  After listening to her finish speaking, Su Jinping's lips curled up with a satisfied smile: "Then tell me, when did I have a dispute with that palace maid?"

  "No, you didn't have a dispute with that palace maid!" The palace maid stared blankly at Su Jinping's eyes and opened her mouth stupidly.

  What! He Lian Rong was about to make a move, but was deterred by Huang Fu's cold gaze and didn't dare speak. The Emperor had previously given an edict that if anyone spoke out of turn, they would be beheaded in public, so don't even think about joking around!

  "Then why did you say I had a dispute with that palace maid?" he asked with a smile, his eyes flashing with a hint of gloom.

  "It was the Empress, the Empress threatened my family, saying that if I didn't say it was you, she would kill my mother and younger brother!" Xia Qiuyue confessed stupidly.

  "Alright!" Su Jinping closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths to calm herself, and then stood up. Her feet were still a bit dizzy, and Shangyu immediately stepped forward to support her: "Your Majesty, I've finished asking."

  He Lian Rong's face turned red with rage, and she glared at Xia Qiuyue, shouting: "You wretched servant girl, how dare you spout nonsense and frame me? When did I ever order you to harm Su Jinping?"

  That roar, the palace maid was like a dream come true! Some of them stared blankly at the scene in the great hall, completely unaware of what had just happened! "Your Majesty, I don't know, I don't know, what just happened?"

  Huangfu Huaihan also furrowed his brow, and his eyes looking at Su Jinping were quite strange.

  "This palace knows it's witchcraft! It's witchcraft! It must be witchcraft!" He Lianrong pointed at Su Jinping with a fierce gaze.

  Su Jinping's lips curled up in a cold smile: "What she just said, true or false, Your Majesty only needs to give an order, let no one here be allowed to go out, and then go investigate where her mother and younger brother are, everything will be clear!"

  Her head was still a bit dizzy, and her spiritual power had been greatly consumed! This was the last trump card of her "Yao Jue", a trump card that allowed her to complete various tasks countless times and sit firmly in the position of killer king for many years! She, apart from having an astonishing degree of proficiency in using cold weapons, also had another point - hypnosis! This was something that even the demon who had lived with her for many years did not know. Because when she used hypnosis, it was her weakest moment, and anyone could easily put her to death! As a killer, no matter who it was, they couldn't be trusted easily, including demons!

  Who would have thought that she, a "demon", was the world's top hypnotist before becoming an assassin? But those were all unbearable pasts that she never wanted to mention. She also knew that by playing this trump card today, Huangfu Huaihan's suspicions about her would only grow stronger, but things had come to this point and she had no choice!

  As soon as this was said, He Lianyu's momentum immediately weakened! After taking a look at the corpse, he suddenly thought of something else: "Alright, even if this is a frame-up by the palace, you'd better explain where you were when she was murdered last night!"

  Su Jinping gently pushed open Shallow Memory, took a few big steps to the front of the palace maid, looked at her complexion, and should have been killed at around 1 am. The timing was really accurate. At that time, she was sleeping soundly in Baili Xiong's place, and the guards were looking for her but couldn't find her.

  He Lian Rong's face revealed a hint of color, last night's search for someone in the entire palace, she naturally also knew, Jing Ren Palace also had her people, she had long known that Su Jinping and the third prince of Nan Yue were entangled, if she hadn't guessed wrong, last night Su Jinping was indeed at Liyuan, but if she dared to say she was at Liyuan, in the middle of the night, with a foreign prince, it would be considered treasonous and rebellious!

  Huangfu Huachen's face also turned somewhat cold, and he turned his head to give He Lianrong a chilly glance. He Lianrong was startled by the look, and the triumphant smile on her face instantly disappeared.

  Su Jinping also knew the pros and cons, biting her lip, suddenly, a sentence echoed in her mind "Xiao Jinjin, if you need help, remember to find me!", the corner of her mouth slightly hooked, it seems she owes another favor to Huangfu Ye!

  Just as she was about to speak, a clear and cold voice rang out: "Last night at midnight, I went out of the palace to Liyuan, but couldn't find my way back, so I had to trouble this palace maid to send me."

  As soon as this was said, everyone turned their heads and looked at the person outside the door. Still in white clothes, it was also beautiful under the sunlight, giving people an unreal feeling.

  "Your Majesty of Dongling!" A soft greeting.

  "Third Prince of Nanyue!" Hu Fu Haohan also retorted.

  Now, Su Jinping's siege was lifted! Looking at the person outside the door, she felt grateful and also couldn't figure out what this guy was thinking. He was always lukewarm to her, repeatedly giving her the cold shoulder, but he had saved her twice, and this time, he even lied for her!

  "What evidence does Nanyue San Huangzi have for saying this?" He Lian Rong opened his mouth with a look of disdain, but he was just a hostage, what qualifications did he have to interrupt?

  "Is Nan Yue's reputation enough?" A soft voice, tone as cold as the moon.

  Huangfu Huaihan and Su Jinping's eyes both narrowed, they naturally knew he was lying, but in order to help her, did they need to use Nan Yue's reputation to tell a lie? Although Su Jinping wasn't an ancient person, she also knew that for the ancients, reputation and oaths were extremely important. This person had actually said such words for her sake?

  "The words of the three princes of Nanyue, must be true." Huangfu's voice was cold and detached, his words had reached this point, if he continued to entangle, it would become him looking down on Nanyue!

  Although it was true that the Emperor had won against Nan Yue more than a decade ago, and had successfully taken Bailing Xiong as a hostage, he also knew that the current Nan Yue was no longer the same as before. Originally, without Bailing Xiong, Nan Yue would have lost its killing power, but in recent years, Nan Yue had inexplicably produced a mysterious "Night Curtain Mountain Villa" and a "Dust-Removing Young Master". No one knew who the "Dust-Removing Young Master" was, nor had anyone seen him.

  He also sent someone to investigate that person, but the result was that the person seemed to be non-existent. That person had helped Nan Yue several times and slowly raised Nan Yue from its decline to a certain position, making it one of the four countries in the current situation. And Dong Ling was able to remain at the top of the four countries because of this hostage, which made Nan Yue subject to Dong Ling. His cold eyes flashed as he scanned the people outside the door, his thin lips curled up slightly, and he had suspected more than once that Licheng Gongzi was actually Baili Jinghong!

  "Your Majesty!" He Lianyu stamped her foot, seemingly unwilling.

  "Empress!" The cold voice was laced with barely concealed anger.

  He Lian Rong was startled by his roar and didn't dare to speak, staring blankly.

  Baili Xinghong merely nodded slightly in this direction, her silver-gray eyes without a hint of focus. Her clear and cold voice rang out: "Emperor Dongling, the palace bids you farewell."

  "Please!" His tone was neither hot nor cold, he had met Baili Xinghong twice, both times were for this woman, the corner of his icy lips hooked up silently, the bait had been thrown out, it seemed that the net was about to be cast!

  The white sleeve fluttered and the figure slowly disappeared from everyone's sight.

  The Emperor coldly looked at He Lianyu and said, "Empress, I won't bother with today's matter! From now on, all the matters of the harem will be handed over to Consort Shu. If you have nothing to do, reflect well in your own palace!"

  After finishing speaking, her sharp eyes like an eagle's gaze swept towards Su Jinping, paused for a moment, and then she swung her sleeve and stepped out!

  Su Jinping's fist clenched silently, it seems that this emperor is up to no good again!

  He Lian Rong stared at the back of Huang Fu Huai Han with a look of shock, her mind flashing with a momentary daze. Suddenly, she snapped out of it and realized that her husband, the man she loved, had known about her plan from the very beginning! Without asking or inquiring, he was certain of it!

  Fists clenched, under the wide sleeves, long fingernails dug into the flesh.

  "Hehe, Queen Sister, I originally thought that once you left the Fei Feng Palace, I could take it easy and not have to deal with these trivial matters in the palace anymore. But unexpectedly, I still have to be busy for a few more days... Sigh... I'll continue to act as your proxy in handling palace affairs, Sister. Now that things are settled, aren't you leaving yet?" The voice of the Imperial Consort Shu was tinged with an unmistakable tone of triumph.

  He Lian Rongru looked at her coldly and sneered: "Sister knows she's just helping with trivial matters in the palace, that's all!" The word "proxy" was bitten extremely hard!

  As soon as these words came out, Shu Fei's face, which had been full of delight, also cooled down.

  Su Jinping coldly interrupted them: "See off the two ladies!" The hypnotic technique she used just now had consumed a lot of her spiritual energy, and if she didn't rest for two days, it would be impossible to recover, so she didn't have time to watch the two of them arguing in her room!

  Huanglian Rong's face turned pale in an instant, and just as she was about to say something, the Empress Shu smiled and said: "Sister, let's hurry up and go, it's almost time for dinner, if we don't return now, I'm afraid we'll miss dinner!"

  The queen snorted coldly and strode out with a flick of her sleeve!

  The imperial concubine smiled and said, "Don't drag that trunk out yet, it's dirtying up the house, so inauspicious! Tonight, have someone send some pomelo water over to sprinkle around!"

  "Yes!" The servant took orders.

  "Jinping, rest well, I'll head back first!"

  "See off Princess Shu!" She gritted her teeth tightly, and in another moment, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to hold on!

  The Empress stepped out of the house, Su Jinping listened intently to her footsteps fading away, and with a white eye roll, she fainted into Shallow Memory's arms, before losing consciousness, she only uttered three words "Don't make a sound".

  Qian Yi was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she didn't dare to scream. She helped her lie down on the bed. Then, she sat stupidly at the bedside, today's young lady really made her feel strange. The impression of the young lady was always a little thing, which could make her tremble with fear. Today, she was indeed calm and wise!

  There was a moment when she felt that this person was not her mistress, but another person, someone completely unrelated! Suddenly, she remembered what her mistress had said to her that day: "Just pretend I'm a wandering soul inhabiting your mistress's body. If so, would you still be loyal to me?" Biting her lower lip and holding back tears, she nodded vigorously. No matter how her mistress changed, her mistress was still her mistress, and she would always be loyal to her!

  The sky grew darker until midnight, but Su Jinping still didn't wake up. Qian Yi stared at her with worried eyes, keeping vigil by her bedside...

  ……

  Inside the pear garden, a man in white stood quietly by the window, his eyes fixed on the void without any focus.

  Today, I just went out for a walk, but somehow my footsteps slowly moved to the place where I first saw her. She was leaning on a broom and sitting on a tree, staring at me from afar. At the same time, I heard the quarrel coming from inside Jingren Palace.

  The last time I helped her was to repay a favor. But this time, it's to make her stop bothering him again. She has too many uncertainties for him, even... threats! Last night, I followed her out again, as if possessed by a ghost. I thought that with her personality, she would definitely come to thank me tonight, and I would use this opportunity to make her never come again. But... she didn't come tonight!

  Isn't he unwilling for her to come? Yet why, when she really didn't come, would his heart feel empty and hollow? He stood quietly for a long time, until the sky had already turned white, his thin lips slightly curled, tonight, won't she be coming after all?

  She paused, a faint smile playing on her lips. Why bother saying it herself? She had never planned to come back anyway! But suddenly, she remembered what she had said the night before: "If one day I don't show up, that means I'm dead, don't look for me." Dead? Her heart tightened with inexplicable worry.

  ……

  "Haven't you woken up yet?" The icy voice carried a concern that even he himself hadn't noticed.

  "Reporting to Your Majesty, she hasn't woken up yet! After the palace maid on duty fell asleep last night, I took her pulse and found that there was nothing seriously wrong with her body, she's just too tired, which is why she fainted!" A man in black clothes knelt down in the hall to report.

  "Alright, go ahead." Holding the pen in his hand, he drew a few circles on the paper with some annoyance, and the feeling of depression in his heart grew thicker, but he couldn't guess what he was thinking about.

  "Yes, I obey your orders!"

  ……

  "Young master, the Empress has made her move against Su Jinping!" An old man with a flowing white beard stood respectfully in front of Shangguan Jingyuan's desk.

  The pen in his hand fell out without warning, and for the first time, a slightly flustered look appeared in his warm eyes. He looked up at the old man: "Is there something?"

  "With the help of the three princes from Nan Yue, the danger has been averted, but now she's fainted and is resting!" The old man replied with his head lowered, then immediately opened his mouth with a hesitant expression, "Young Master, if you continue to care for her like this, I'm afraid it will delay important matters!"

  He let out a wry smile: "Imperial Uncle, you should understand!"

  "I understand, but I implore you, young master, to prioritize the greater good above all else!" The aged face bore a hint of reproach.

  He sighed and closed his black eyes, his thin lips opening slightly: "I understand."

  ……

  Su Jinping slept soundly for two days, and when she finally woke up, she looked around the room and her mind cleared instantly. She saw that Shallow Memory was sleeping on the edge of her bed. Looking at the maid's face, there were still tears on her eyelashes, and Su Jinping thought it was because she was worried about herself. She smiled softly and gently wiped away the tears. Suddenly, she felt a little envious of the original owner of this body, Su Jinping. You have someone who cares about you so much, you're really lucky. But can I also receive this luck on your behalf?

  She got up, got out of bed, and covered the quilt on her body. Shallow memory was startled awake: "Miss, you're awake?" There was a clear flutter at the bottom of her eyes.

  "Hmm, awake... how many days have I slept?" Seeing her like this, his tone also softened.

  "You've been asleep for two whole days and nights, scaring me to death, I..."

  "Alright, you rest first, I'll go out for a bit." Two days and one night, it's time to go thank that person.

  "Miss, you go..." Before she could say "where", Su Jinping had already jumped out of the window and walked several dozen meters away.

  ……

  A hundred miles of longing, at this moment quietly waiting by the window, with a panic in her heart that even she can't understand. She didn't come, is she really... dead?

  Suddenly, a playful voice sounded from behind: "What are you thinking? Thinking I'm really dead?"

  Her eyes flashed like moonlight, and he didn't even feel her come in. Was it that her movements were too mysterious or was he just too careless? As he listened more carefully to what she said, the corners of his lips twitched slightly.

  Su Jinping took a few big strides to his side, patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, I have great luck and a strong fate, I won't die easily!" Her mood was obviously good, of course, she also knew that after saying this, the person wouldn't respond.

  Unexpectedly, he actually spoke up: "Oh." A light and casual word, if you didn't listen carefully, you would have thought it was just your own illusion.

  The corners of his mouth curled up, and he smiled as he spoke: "Thanks for saving my life a few days ago!"

  Her thin lips moved slightly, recalling her initial intention of saving her was just to prevent her from disturbing herself again, but the words reached her lips and were not spoken.

  Many things are just so coincidental, if she had come last night, he would have been able to say those words lightly, but after a day of not coming, his heart was like being bitten by thousands of ants, unable to express what the feeling was, whether it was worry or... longing? So today when seeing her again, he couldn't say those words either. Only, why didn't she come last night? Did she go drinking with Huang Ye again?

  She took a few big strides to his front, smiling and staring at his face: "Are you thinking why I didn't come last night?"

  "No." A quick response, but with a somewhat suspicious tone.

  "Haha, alright, I was just joking with you. You've already saved me once, it's not like you'd care about my life or death!"

  The beautiful eyebrows were slightly raised without a word, but nothing was said.

  For a moment, the house was quiet and silent. At this moment of complete silence, "Gulu" sounded!

  The woman's face immediately became awkward. After sleeping for a few days, she was naturally hungry. "Th...that, I'll go find something to eat, do you want some?"

  "I'm not eating." A faint response, and then he walked towards his own bed, seemingly preparing for sleep.

  "Fine! You don't eat!" The wicked one smiled and stepped out.

  For the first time, he saw her leave so decisively, Bai Li Xing Hong sat on the bed in a daze, gone? Gone. The heart that had just warmed up a bit had turned cold again, untied his belt and lay back on the bed. His eyes were dull and lifeless, staring blankly at the ceiling. What was wrong with him after all?

  After gazing for a long time, sleepiness slowly crept in, just as I was about to fall asleep, my nostrils caught a whiff of fragrance that wafted in from outside the window.

  "Alas, such a delicious roasted fish, and yet someone doesn't eat it, alas!" A woman's sharp voice echoed outside the door, her tone full of seductive implications.

  The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she turned over.

  "Wow, it's really delicious! Alas, what a pity for those who don't eat!" Another sigh echoed from outside the window.

  Su Jinping ate at the door, looking in through the window, and saw that person lying motionless on the bed, with a slight smile on his lips. If he really fell asleep, then it would be a ghost! "If you want to eat, hurry up and come out, after passing this village, there will be no such restaurant!"

  The person on the bed was still motionless, and a hint of a smile appeared in Feng's eyes. That arrogant guy wouldn't have come out by himself if he could help it! He flipped over the fish on the fire, and a wave of savory aroma wafted into his nostrils. It was done. Holding the roasted fish, he deftly flipped himself over and leapt in through the window...

  "Hey, wake up!" he said to the person on the bed.

  He seemed to have not heard, quietly sleeping, motionless, leaving her only a dreamy back view.

  He irritably threw open his quilt, and sat up with a start, his collar slightly open, revealing the faintly visible honey-colored skin inside, his absolutely beautiful face had no expression at all, but the furrowed brow indicated his annoyance.

  "Have you eaten? Hmm?" She brought the fragrant roasted fish to his lips, her phoenix-like eyes sparkling with amusement. Seeing that he still didn't move, she spoke again, just like that day, "Be good, hmm?"

  This time, he didn't behave as well as last time, closing his mouth and staying still.

  "Not eating? Are you sulking because I didn't come last night?" He said with a teasing tone, waiting for the other person's reaction.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately opened his mouth and took a bite.

  This guy is really infuriating!

  "You have to pay after eating!" said unexpectedly.

  The words successfully choked him, and he coughed violently for several times. His slender hand covered his chest, exuding an inexplicable elegance.

  "Don't get excited, don't get excited, I know you have no money, or else offer your body!" The wicked man spoke.

  As expected, after hearing this, his indifferent expression became even more blank, and he didn't even bother to cough!

  "What, you're not willing to pay the price? You ate my food, shouldn't you pay for it?" A woman with a dissatisfied face spoke out.

  The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, as if... she was forcing herself to eat?

  Suddenly, a woman leaned her face in front of his: "How about this, let's discuss it properly. Why don't you really make a move? Anyway, following me, this great beauty, you won't lose out!"

  A faintly fragrant woman wafted into his nostrils, and Bai Li Jing slightly turned his head to avoid her. A cold voice sounded: "Miss, don't make jokes."

  "You're such a bore! Hurry up and eat, finish eating and come with me to take revenge!" At the thought of taking revenge, she unconsciously curled her lips, and a hint of cold light flashed in her phoenix-like eyes.

  "Why me?" Can't you find someone else to go with? Why?

  "Because I like it!" She took a big bite of the roasted fish on her right hand, and handed the fish on her left hand to him, "You eat it yourself!" She wasn't his mother, no interest in feeding him mouthful by mouthful.

  Because... she likes it? Dazed and holding a fish, her face still slightly stunned, is this also a reason?

  "Look at him with that dull expression, Su Jinping impatiently spoke up: "I'm telling you, why aren't you tired of thinking so much all day? Can't people just live more carefreely? If you want something, go get it. If you want to do something, go do it. Who cares about the reason? If everything in this world needs an answer, what's the point of living?"

  She took a bite of the fish, seemingly deep in thought. Indeed, if everything in life had to have an answer, then living would be meaningless. However, she also said that not every matter in this world has an answer.

  Then there was a moment of silence, and the sound of chewing food. "You, are you really the young lady from the Prime Minister's residence?" How can you roast meat and fish?

  "If you think it is, then it is; if you don't think so, then it isn't!" Anyway, the person is there, but the soul isn't.

  "Are you done eating?" Her tone was somewhat impatient, she wasn't a patient person to begin with, and her patience had already been exhausted on this guy!

  "I've finished eating." A faint response, followed by handing over a handkerchief.

  Su Jinping was stunned, she didn't expect him to hand her a handkerchief. Had the sun risen in the west? She took the handkerchief from him in a daze and wiped her mouth vigorously, only to see him take out another handkerchief and gently wipe his lips with elegant movements.

  Then, the woman's movements became stuck, and she pretended to be a gentle lady, lightly wiping a few times, her face slightly flushed. Nima, even a man is so particular! After wiping, she handed the handkerchief back to him, as a result, that person uttered a sentence that was enough to kill someone: "Throw it away."

  Su Jinping clenched her teeth and endured the urge to beat him up for half a day. With a burst of anger, she turned her head around, with her back facing him: "Hurry up and get dressed."

  I waited for half a day, but didn't hear any movement behind me. I gritted my teeth: "You don't like wearing clothes, huh? Do you want me to help you take them off?"

  As soon as the words came out, the sound of the quilt being lifted was heard, and the person also started to put on their clothes with a rustling sound. On his indifferent face, there was a hint of an inexplicable color that even he couldn't understand. If he had really annoyed her, he would have thrown her out long ago, so why did he still get up obediently under her threat and put on his clothes?

  Before he could finish thinking, his clothes were already on. She quickly turned around, grabbed his wrist and pulled him along, and he obediently followed behind her.

  She skillfully evaded the guards and brought her to sneak under the window of Fei Feng Palace, listening to the movements inside.

  "Bang!" The sound of jade shattering echoed, and Helian Rong's sharp voice was filled with indignation: "This is infuriating! This is infuriating! It's all because of that cheap maid Su Jinping! And that cheap woman Shu Fei got off easy!"

  Su Jinping's lips curled up with a hint of ridicule, blame her? If she, He Lianrong, was the one who failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice instead, could she still blame Su Jinping for it? Let them blame her if they wanted to, anyway, she herself had also come to seek revenge! As she thought this, a dark aura slowly emanated from her body, like the devilish aura of the underworld.

  Baili Xinghe slightly furrowed his brow behind her, his thin lips lightly opening: "You want to kill her?" Was it because of the matter from two days ago?

  As soon as this was said, Su Jinping was stunned! Yes, it's not possible to kill her now. If she is killed, Huangfu Huaihan, that astute man, will immediately know it was her doing. Her fist clenched tightly, a bloodthirsty smile playing on her lips: "Killing her would be letting her off too easily!"

  Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, seemingly puzzled.

  She smiled and opened her mouth, but the corners of her red lips were hooked with a chilling coldness: "Do you know? The cruelest way to treat someone is not to let them die, nor is it to use every means to torture them to death. It's to make them suffer and then live a lifetime in pain, making them repent for their actions for the rest of their lives! But you'll understand, this is just the beginning!"

  As soon as the voice fell, a figure flashed before him. The person in front of him had vanished, his good-looking eyebrows furrowed, wasn't the cruelest treatment to let someone suffer and live? This idea was... refreshing, yet not unreasonable, just like how he treated that person, wasn't it?

  A "poof" sound, and the candles in the Phoenix Palace went out.

  He Lian Rong's overbearing voice rang out: "You bunch of useless things, how do you do things? The window isn't even closed properly. This palace... Ah!"

  A shrill cry rang out, a wave of bloody smell rushed up!

  The man outside the window had a thin lip that was slightly hooked, this temperament, straightforward, neat and tidy, with a grudge must be reported, he liked it! Really, is this kind of person? Wait, the moon-colored intoxicating eyes tightened, like? He would also like? Before he could react, his hand had already been grabbed, familiar fragrance rushed to his nose, just for an instant, the two had already run a hundred meters away, behind a big tree, holding their breath and concentrating.

  Immediately afterwards, the Imperial Guards began to stir and shout loudly inside the Phoenix Pavilion: "Catch the assassin! Catch the assassin!"

  Wave after wave of troops passed in front of the large tree behind them, and the two leaned tightly against the trunk, extremely close, she could already smell the faint scent of snow lotus on him. When the third wave of troops swept past from behind them, the surroundings gradually became quiet.

  Suddenly, Su Jinping let out a soft, gentle laugh...

  "What are you laughing at?" Although it was a question, there was no hint of puzzlement in his voice, which was neither high nor low, and completely calm.

  "Don't you think it's exciting hiding like this?" a woman's voice rose with slight excitement.

  Her eyes flickered slightly, but she remained silent.

  She pouted, and I knew she wouldn't make a sound! Looking at the distant stars, her phoenix eyes narrowed, and her red lips curled up: "It's just that she's crippled her two legs, but this is just the beginning, I have plenty of time to play with her slowly!"

  He felt the chill emanating from her body, but he didn't feel even a bit uncomfortable; on the contrary, he had some stirring desires.

  At this moment, she grabbed his wrist again: "Come on, take you to revenge!"

  "Isn't it already...?" Are you done reporting?

  "And your enemy!" Since she had already considered him a friend, his affairs naturally became Su Jinping's affairs.

  His enemy? When the two of them evaded the heavy search by the guards and appeared behind the big tree at the back of "Jade Fence Palace", Bailing Xiong finally knew what kind of enemy she was talking about.

  "What about the grudge against him that day? Sliding down along the branch, he reached the window: "Did you see how I avenged myself back then? Now you go in too, whatever she does to you, you give it back to me tenfold, a hundredfold, got it?"

  After finishing speaking, he didn't move at all.

  The corners of his mouth twitched, and he slapped his forehead: "How could I forget that you can't see! Never mind, I'll help you take revenge. Tell me, how do you want to deal with her?"

  As soon as the voice fell, a very strange force emerged from beside him, and the white figure had already flashed into the house. Su Jinping's red lips curled up, unexpectedly this kid still has such powerful internal strength, not bad!

  In no time, another mournful cry rang out!

  The Jade Screen Palace was suddenly illuminated!

  By the time the guards arrived at the Jade Lattice Palace, the two had already hidden themselves on the roof of a remote and deserted palace. After evading capture all along, the cold palace was temporarily the safest place for them, but they also needed to return to their own residence as soon as possible, otherwise they would become the prime suspects.

  "Didn't expect you're quite formidable!" That eerie power, completely cannot be explained by science. Is this the internal strength of ancient times?

  He naturally fell silent after saying this.

  He bumped his shoulder: "Tell me, how did you treat her? Did you beat her face swollen?" This guy, with such a cold temperament, was still forced to take revenge by himself, and he definitely wouldn't use too much force!

  "Blindness, disfigurement."

  Four words were spat out, and Su Jinping almost fell off the roof in shock! Turning her head, she stared at his stunning profile, which emitted a fatal temptation under the moonlight. The woman managed to squeeze out a few words from her throat: "What did you say?"

  After asking, he closed his eyes and didn't respond, but the faint misty texture that appeared on his pale face revealed that his mood wasn't bad.

  "Who would have thought! You're actually so ruthless! Using such heavy hands on a woman, sigh!" A certain woman exclaimed in dismay, shaking her head.

  Her eyes twitched slightly, wasn't she the one who let herself in to take revenge? Her thin lips curled up: "We are the same kind of people." Those who have a grudge must repay it, with interest! She slapped his face and scolded him as a "blind man", didn't she need to pay back?

  As soon as these familiar words came out, Su Jinping burst into loud laughter and patted his shoulder: "That's right, we're the same kind of people! In that case... kid, confess honestly, have you been wanting to take revenge for a long time?"

  If it were Su Jinping, she would not rest until her grievances were avenged!

  "No time." Two words that reveal the reason for thinking about it for a long time but taking no action.

  "Hahaha......" laughed even more wildly.

  Suddenly, their faces changed color, and the two of them simultaneously dodged behind the eaves.

  Under the wall of the Cold Palace, a guard grasped his head and opened his mouth in distress: "General, I really did hear laughter!"

  The face of the commander of the Imperial Guard was also extremely solemn! One night, the queen had her legs amputated, the princess was poked blind and disfigured. On the emperor's side, he would definitely not be able to explain himself if he couldn't catch the assassin, and he would probably die without a doubt!

  Although nothing was seen, but not dare to slack off! "Bring the lantern, I'm going to take a look at the rooftop!"

  Looks like a martial arts master! Su Jinping's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, damn it, he was too excited, and this one smile exposed his tracks! Afraid... He clenched his fists, looked around with some embarrassment, and it seemed that with so many troops, their chances of being shot to death were higher!

  This look, however, made her slightly stunned. Still the same calm and collected face, but with absolute confidence, and even a hint of arrogance! This person...

  "Yes!" A guard handed him a lantern. The captain of the guards also took a deep breath, preparing to go up to the roof...

  Just as Su Jinping gritted her teeth and was about to meet a tragic end together, the door of the Cold Palace creaked open with a "creak"!

  A disheveled woman rushed out, grasping the hand of the Imperial Guard commander, her face flushed with excitement as she exclaimed: "Is it His Majesty who sent you to release me? Is that so? Does His Majesty miss me?"

  "Let go! You crazy woman!" The Imperial Guard roughly pushed the woman to the ground, his bearded face full of anger.

  The woman, however, refused to give up. She scrambled to her feet, her hair even more disheveled than before, and charged at the commander of the Imperial Guard: "How dare you! How dare you show disrespect to me? Do you know who I am? I am Consort Mei! The Emperor himself has praised me as noble as an orchid and elegant as a plum blossom. And yet you dare to be disrespectful to me?! You dare to be disrespectful to me?!"

  "Ah!" The commander of the Imperial Forest Army let out a miserable cry, and the lantern in his hand also fell to the ground. It was seen that the person who called himself "Mei Fei" bit his arm fiercely.

  He kicked "Mei Fei" away with a vicious kick! Looking at the roof, feeling extremely annoyed and frustrated, he thought there was nothing left to do. "You crazy woman!" he said fiercely, then led his men away.

  The siege was lifted, but Su Jinping and Bai Lixing's faces were somewhat cold. The woman's footsteps seemed chaotic, but in fact, they were unusually calm! It was clear that she was pretending to be crazy!

  Along the eaves slid down, the woman on the ground also slowly crawled up, seeing them two, opened mouth ready to scold again.

  Su Jinping interrupted her: "Alright, stop pretending."

  As soon as she spoke, the woman stopped. She smiled and her voice was cold and proud: "Now that you've cleared the way, you can leave."

  A dirty face, but it's not hard to see that she's a stunning beauty. Su Jinping furrowed her brow: "What's your purpose?" A stranger would save her, and she didn't have such a good self-awareness yet!

  "Empress." Two words that made everything clear. It was the Empress who had sent her here, and the enemy of one's enemy is a friend.

  "Thanks." He spat out the two words, nodded at the woman and pulled Baili Shuanghong away.

  He hadn't walked many steps when he heard a low sigh from behind him: "When you're free, come sit for a bit."

  He paused for a moment, his lips curled slightly: "Good!" After responding with one word, he stepped away and didn't stay for a second.

  ……

  He walked a long way before suddenly speaking up: "Do you believe her?" Three words, calm and plain.

  "I don't believe it. But I like dealing with clever people!" He turned back without looking, and also pulled him to a hundred-year-old ancient tree, listening to the footsteps of the Imperial Guard passing by.

  "Clever people are all very dangerous." It seems like a statement, yet also a reminder.

  "It's only when one is in a state of constant danger that they can maintain their best condition, not giving any enemy an opportunity to take advantage. Dealing with danger is like putting oneself on the edge of a knife, but also constantly improving one's abilities and willpower." What she didn't say was that the person she was pulling along was actually the greatest danger!

  He closed his eyes and made no comment.

  She dodged all the way to Liyuan and sent him to the door: "Go in."
